To cut it to the chase I'll just copy paste press info i wrote for this one. Hope you like it!

Ill Wind's debut tape release brings seven tracks full of melancholic
bliss, dreamy melodies and punk rock infused with infinite sadness.
This relatively new band comes from Zagreb, Croatia and its members have
played in a bunch of bands during the past ten years; Vaseline
Children, Junk Messiah, The Pathetics, Benchwarmers and more.

So, this is proper moody punk and a great soundtrack for sad people.
If you like like Leatherface, Mega City 4, HDQ or Husker Du, Ill Wind
might be right up your alley!

Followers of this blog might be also interested in another newer release on Cosmic Brood and that is Neon Lies debut tape. Neon Lies is a sick new solo project of Goran Lautar, the guitarist and
the man responsible for the vocals, lyrics, recordings and hocus pocus
behind the dystopian brooding garage rock group Modern Delusion. See more posts about Modern Delusion here. Listen to NL here.

"Upbeat, fast and moody political punk from the Bay Area with members of
Deskonocidos, Neon Piss, The New Flesh, Criaturas and more. Here at
Doomtown Records headquarters, Silent Era's music heavily reminds us of
the late eighties sound we really dig and that is melodic side of UK
hardcore and greats such as HDQ, Sofa Head and Instigators, as well as
bands like Poland's Post Regiment."

Their approach for writing songs is definitely too fast to be called
post-punk, but the chorus laden guitars and dark, melodic vocals could
appeal to fans of that particular genre, whilst it's also too melodic to
be filed under straight up hardcore punk.

These South Central LA ghetto punks made
a name for themselves in the modern DIY punk scene with their trademark
sound and that is blistering fast, melodic and super cathy retro punk rock sung in Spanish.

This limited tape compiles the songs from their first demo, S/T 7" and
the Catholic Spit split 7", which are all sold out now. Read more about Generacion Suicida in my previous posts here and here.

For fans of Masshysteri, The Vicious, Gorilla Angreb, Eskorbuto, No Hope For The Kids, latino punk, 77 punk, Bloodstains Across California compilation etc.

I've been spinning this one a lot. Gazm plays gritty, dirty and blown out style of hardcore and they are from Montreal. This is their demo tape repressed as a 7" and is full of rough aggressive sound, crashing beats, grimmest killah riffs and the craziest fucking vocals straight from the loony bin.

Band made compilation cassette of the first three Coneheads tapes dubbed on thrift store tapes. Also contains a bunch of live recordings and some Liquids stuff. For the in-depth analysis of this release go to punkest youtube channel of 2016.

12/19/16

Mutant punk based in NYC but with members from Mexico, Argentina and USA. This demo is a total rager from first track to last and if you're fan of international punk, raw punk or noisy punk similar to new wave of british bands such as Good Throb or Frau this one's for ya. Members of La Misma, Nuclear Spring, Ratas Del Vaticano, Muerte, Tercer Mundo etc.

This is yet another one of Mark Winter solo projects which I'm assuming stemmed from Gordon Spicer Band, which probably was
the first incarnation of The Coneheads, that appeared on the Cool Bands
compilation tapes that Mark put together. G.S.B. sounds like a weirder and more punk take on Coneheads sound, with the exception of a track Telephone Bore as a total pop chartbreaker.

D.L.I.M.C. is all about infectious tunes, goofiness, satirical tongue-in-cheek humor and the most important thing; killer riffs. Not sure why this is not hyped more but I'm totally hooked on this and I'm afraid I don't know where you can buy this tapes, but I collected them all for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

Public Eye is what happens when members of PDX’s Autistic Youth
switch instruments and decide to start a new band and play something entirely different and that is a stripped down, straight forward and repetitive post-punk.

This tape, even thought is a demo, do not sound like a demo at all. On the contrary, it fucking slays! Public Eye combines powerful and melodic songwriting with laser sharp technical precision, indie rock sensibilities and guitar-driven poppiness of 80's new wave and post-punk.

Yet another release by Doomtown Records I forgot to post here. Below is the press info for the release I wrote.

"Catholic Guilt are from Austria and play dense, discordant hardcore in
80's hardcore punk tradition. They are said to be measuring up with
Poison Idea and Die Kreuzen when it comes to dashing off cogent,
well-written songs that eloquently express the band's lack of interest
in most of humanity. What’s more, they have plenty of chorus effect on
the guitar, which reminds of early Hüsker Dü and many other bands from
that era. Sickoids would be also a good reference if we speak about some
new bands doing something similar."

Beside this 7", Catholic Guilt put out another 7" EP called "Cabin Fever" just a few months ago, as well as S/T LP and split 12" with their buddies INU from Spain.

The next release on Doomtown is debut vinyl release by Bay Area band with members of Deskonocidos, Neon Piss, The New Flesh, Criaturas and more. You can read more about Silent Era and preorder the record here. Download the amazingly killer Silent Era demo tape from last year here.

Old school hardcore-punk band based in Austin, Texas. Obedience are all about nurturing love towards good ol' fashioned American hardcore. This tape contains six hard punches in the face brought to you by members of Breakout, Signal Lost, Severed Head of State, Dead Nation, Splitting Headache and Dave from legendary Tear It Up on vocals duties!

From the depths of New York City Deformity were born and they played high intensity weirdo raw hardcore at the same time both aggressive and noisy.
All mixed up and recorded
following the old "all knobs to the right" method. This should appeal to fans of classic noise punk not unlike Confuse, Disorder or Zyanose while at the same time, I can see how someone digging Hank Wood And The Hammerheads could be into this cause of occasional garage punk swagger.

This tape compiles all of their demos (released and unreleased ones), both 7" singles on Toxic State and La Vida Es Un Mus and scrapped LP from 2012. So you get the discography type of thing here.

After the band broke up members went on to form Kaleidoscope, JJ Doll and Ivy (who also call it quits).

This one was released by the band via their label D4MT Labs. Get it here. You can also buy Shards 7" here.

Cassette-only mixtape of newer bands from Richmond, Virginia, compiled by Feel It! Records. Features tracks from Slugz, Animal Planet, the Nervous Ticks, Diamond Hairbrush, Omega Boys, Christi, Asylum, Atrocious Kontrol, Cretins, Barge and two songs from the aborted Southside Stranglers LP session. This is pretty intense selection of some of the most exciting hardcore and garage punk bands from Richmond even thought I must admit, at first I only tracked this one for unreleased Southside Stranglers stuff. Was worth it!DL

"Days of Us" captures bleak atmosphere and isolation caused by living in
the big city on some shitty part of the world and the 4-track lo-fi
production doesn't hurt either. Wide range of influences come from some
classic synth punk sounds like Devo, The Screamers or Units and there's
definitely some obvious influence from Yugoslavian post-punk/new wave
scene and bands such as Paraf and some contemporary stuff not unlike Jay
Reatard's Lost Sounds. But this is not straight up death rock,
post-punk or goth revival band, Modern Delusion build up their own
trademark sound with strong melancholic touch and vocals soaked in
reverb backed up with punk attitude and primitive raw sound.

Silkscreened sleeves come in two different colors; red and grey.
Artwork by Dirt Sleeze.

Also, there's a new band called The Celetoids featuring 2/3 of Modern Delusion plus drummer from Chresus Jist. The trio plays a frantic, nervous and rabid kind of furious punk rock
inspired by the first wave of British punk and obscure KBD gems, even
outsider punk weirdos like Rudimentary Peni.

4/5/16

Amazing new group from Barcelona consisting of 3 ladies who formerly and currently played in RAKTA, LAS OTRAS, INVISIBLES, SIEGA and RAKTA EM TRANSE. Primitive, mechanically repetitive, brooding tribal punk with some industrial influences that recall bands such as Killing Joke. I must admit I like this band even more than all off their other projects.

4/4/16

Minimalistic fusion of raw punk, UK anarcho-punk with some hints toward post-punk brought to you by people from Belgrado, Sect, The Love Triangle and Shitty Limits.

This is only released in digital format but if you like this demo you might be interested in vinyl records by Sect, Belgrado and The Love Triangle. I added some last copies Sect LP, 2nd Belgrado LP and The Love Triangle 7" to a distro store. Get it here.

Since the demise of Cult Ritual, the band members formed some other bands but neither of those bands had anything in common with the nasty dirge madness Cult Ritual were. This demo contains six songs full of noisy, atonal, chaotic and loud hardcore CR were known for and this tape is as close to CR sound as you can get. Don't sleep on this!

Members of Cult Ritual, Salvation, Slavescene, The Ukiah Drag and Anxiety Hammer.

3/1/16

Muerte is a hardcore punk band from Mexico City formed by members of Inservibles, Crimen, Tercer Mundo and Ratas del
Vaticano.

This is some proper and well crafted hardcore punk with some goth/anarcho-punk/post-punk undertones. While at the same time straight forward, pissed off and angry, Muerte's bleak guitar work manage to bring some dark and broody atmosphere plus sense of a total despair and dread into this rabid mix. One my favourite releases from the year 2015.

2/15/16

Discography tape with all songs by over the top nasal punk from Lumpy's alter ego.

See earlier write up on Cal And The Calories here. If you live on another planet and you haven't heard stuff Lumpy is recording under the moniker Lumpy & The Dumpers do yourself a favor and click this link.

This tape is sold out from Lumpy Records but there's euro press version on Doomtown Records sub-label - Outsider Tapes. Get it here.

Speaking of Lumpy, I added a couple of Lumpy & The Dumpsters - Collection LP's in Doomtown webstore. Get it here.

Generacion Suicida returns with two brand new tracks that will also end up on their upcoming LP early next year. This flexi was a one time pressing
for their South American Tour and was released by Going Underground from the States. Read more about Generacion Suicida and download their last album Todo Termina in one of my previous posts here.

10/9/15

Yet another release from Doomtown Records. This was out last year in support of Modern Delusion's tour with Chresus Jist and limited to 300 copies.

Modern Delusion delivers three numb hymns in their traditional synth-punk/new wave style and this time the
songs are even more darker and gloomier then on their debut “Wasteland” tape. If you like Lost Sounds, The Spits (minus the comic relief side)
or Devo you’ll probably be into this trio.

On the flipside,
Chresus Jist are presenting three noisy, surfy and catchy lo-fi gems
similar to new era of noisy garage pop bands and Sub Pop scene. Lets just say
there’s a slight touch of early Jesus & Mary Chain and the Pixies
in their sound.

This was sold out from the label but we restocked a very few copies from the band and you can get it here. Also, if you like Modern Delusion make sure to check their highly praised debut tape. You can read recent write on Wasteland tape on Terminal Boredom here.

In the meantime, Modern Delusion managed to craft twelve memorable songs for their highly anticipated debut LP called Days of Us.

"Days of Us" captures bleak atmosphere and isolation caused by living in
the big city on some shitty part of the world and the 4-track lo-fi
production doesn't hurt either. Wide range of influences come from some
classic synth punk sounds like Devo, The Screamers or Units and there's
definitely some obvious influence from Yugoslavian post-punk/new wave
scene and bands such as Paraf and some contemporary stuff not unlike Jay
Reatard's Lost Sounds. But this is not straight up death rock,
post-punk or goth revival band, Modern Delusion build up their own
trademark sound with strong melancholic touch and vocals soaked in
reverb backed up with punk attitude and primitive raw sound.

Highly original, Nuke York weirdo punk dropped this demo sometime at the end of the last year. The first song on this demo starts off as a kind of garage-y, bluesy and southern rock take on The Cramps and The Gun Club sound and I hear some Fun House-era Stooges influence as well . The second tracks The Mask and Goo follow the sound in the same tradition and then when the Dirty Boy hits the groove this is when it gets really weird cause this is some cow-punk influenced instrumental jam. Midnight And More really reminds me of Bobby Soxx and Stick Men With Ray Guns and the last song Twister is a galloping cow-punk stomper. I must mention that Walker from Crazy Spirit sings here and the Cheena personnel is also comprised of members from Hank Wood & The Hammerheads, Dawn of Humans, Anasazi and Margaret aka Pharmakon.

Beside this demo Cheena also recorded three songs for a 7" that is out on Sacred Bones and you can get it here. People from Europe can buy Cheena 7" here.

Debut 7" from this Coneheads-affiliated band from Northwest Indiana. It sounds pretty much exactly like Coneheads, only with a woman singing instead of a man. Total nervous frantic post-punk that sounds like a recently excavated secret basement tape from the year 1979. Killer! If you haven't heard Coneheads yet check my previous post about them here.
